Abstract

The object of the present paper is to prove the non-existence of pseudo projective Ricci symmetric spacetimes $(PWRS)_{4}$ with different types of energy momentum tensor. We also discuss whether a fluid $(PWRS)_{4}$ spacetime with the basic vector field as the velocity vector field of the fluid can admit heat flux. Next we consider perfect fluid and dust fluid $(PWRS)_{4}$ spacetimes respectively. Finally we construct an example of a $(PWRS)_{4}$ spacetime.

Keywords: perfect fluid spacetime, Einstein's field equation, energy momentum tensor, covariant constant energy-momentum tensor
